Story
Hi, I’m Rian 💛I’m a 5-year-old boy, a Malamute–Husky mix, and I weigh about 23kg.I know… I look big and strong, maybe even a little cool.But if you get to know me, you’ll see—I’m actually just a big softie.I really, really love people.Even if we’ve just met, I might come right up to you like,“Hi… can we be friends?”I love being close to my person.Spending time together, making eye contact, sharing quiet moments…that’s what makes me feel safe and happy.Once I open my heart, I become very affectionate.I’ll want to stay near you, lean into you, and just be by your side as much as I can.I get along well with other dogs too!I have a gentle nature and enjoy playing, whether it’s with toys or with friends.I’m a bright, cheerful boy who just enjoys life and companionship.I was rescued from a place where my time was almost over…but I didn’t lose my trust in people.I still believe in love, and I’m still reaching out for it.I’m also a pretty quick learner!If you teach me with patience and consistency, I’ll do my best to understand and follow along.Because of my Malamute and Husky side, I do have lots of energy.I’ll need regular walks, exercise, and time to really let that energy out.A quick walk won’t always be enough—I’d love a family who enjoys being active with me.I can also have a little independent streak (maybe just a tiny bit stubborn sometimes… 😊),so I’ll need someone who can guide me with calm, steady leadership.Living in a home might be new for me,so I’ll need to learn things like house routines and potty habits from the beginning.But if you’re patient with me, I know I can become an amazing companion.I’m already ready to love someone with my whole heart.All I need now…is someone who will accept me, guide me,and stay with me for life.Will you be my person? 💛

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Odyssey — The Big, Goofy Malamute With an Even Bigger Heart If you love a dog with personality, presence, and a whole lot of charm, Odyssey is ready to win you over. This big, smiley Malamute is the definition of a gentle giant—affectionate, goofy, and absolutely devoted to the people he loves. Odyssey is known for his escape‑artist theatrics and his playful “catch me if you can” routine, but his oversized ears always give him away. He may try to act sneaky, but he’s far too endearing to pull it off. Because he’s clever and curious, he’ll need a secure 6‑foot fenced yard to keep his adventures safe and contained. What Odyssey loves most is attention. Leaning into you for affection, rolling over for belly rubs, and staring at you with the most loving (and sometimes hilariously awkward) gaze—these are his specialties. Despite his size, he’s a total sweetheart who just wants to be close to his people. Watch him run and you’ll see those big ears bounce in every direction, perfectly matching his joyful, slightly clumsy energy. Whether he’s joining you for a long walk or romping around the yard, Odyssey brings fun and enthusiasm to everything he does. Odyssey is the perfect match for a family who: Has a secure 6‑foot fenced yard Enjoys an energetic, playful companion Appreciates a dog who is both goofy and deeply affectionate Wants a larger‑than‑life personality who will always keep them smiling Life with Odyssey means laughter, love, and a whole lot of Malamute charm. If you’re looking for a big sweetie who will fill your days with joy, Odyssey is ready to be your new best friend.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 5, 2026, 5:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Keno — A Loyal, Snow‑Loving Malamute/Husky Looking for His Second Chance Keno is a striking 4‑year‑old Malamute/Husky mix with a big heart and an even bigger need for the right person to guide him forward. Sadly, his owner has passed away and Keno has been living with family.  Keno is searching for a new home where he can rebuild his sense of security and belonging. This boy has all the classic northern‑breed charm: he’s smart, energetic, outdoorsy, and full of personality. Although he’s been living mostly outside recently, Keno is housebroken and has a foundation of basic commands — sit, lay down, and even roll over. He walked beautifully on leash for his owner and shows that same potential with new handlers once he settles his excitement. What is Keno Like Dog‑friendly and social — Keno enjoys the company of friendly dogs of all sizes and reads canine body language well. He thrives around dogs who are calm and confident. Smart and capable — He already knows sit, lay down, and roll over, and he walked beautifully on leash for his owner. With someone patient and consistent, he’ll pick up new skills quickly. Housebroken — Even though he’s been living outdoors more recently, he remembers his manners indoors. Energetic and fun‑loving — Keno has that classic northern‑breed enthusiasm and loves being active, exploring, and engaging with his people. Independent but eager to bond — He may be a work in progress, but he genuinely wants to connect. Once he trusts you, he tries hard to listen and learn. A respectful wanderer — He doesn’t dig or climb fences, but he does like to roam if given the chance, so secure fencing helps him stay safe while enjoying his space. His Ideal Home Keno will thrive with adopters who understand the Malamute/Husky mindset: independent, intelligent, and deeply loyal once bonded. His perfect match is a home with: No young children No small pets A securely fenced yard Owners experienced with high‑energy working breeds Patience and commitment to training Keno is a dog with incredible potential. Underneath his rough edges is a devoted companion who just needs someone willing to meet him where he is and help him grow. If you’re looking for a challenge that comes with huge rewards — and you love the spirit of northern breeds — Keno may be the dog who changes your life.   Important - Please note.   This dog is being listed by WAMAL but is residing with its owner.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Zeus — A Big‑Hearted Boy Looking for His Next Great Adventure Some dogs leave pawprints on your heart the moment you meet them — Zeus is one of those dogs. This handsome Malamute/Husky mix didn’t end up looking for a new home because of anything he did. His owner, who adored him deeply, faced an unexpected change in living circumstances and made the heartbreaking decision to let him go so he could continue living the active, joyful life he deserves. She describes him as a “total lovebug,” and it’s clear she wants nothing more than for him to find a family who will cherish him just as much as she has. A Daily Life Filled With Fun, Activity, and Connection Zeus is used to living life to the fullest. His days were spent: Going on energizing morning runs Visiting dog parks and making new friends Playing in the backyard Practicing training exercises (with a little Mal/Husky-style attitude sprinkled in) He thrives with people who enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and including him in their daily adventures. If you’re looking for a companion who will happily join you on hikes, runs, or weekend outings, Zeus is your guy. A Social Butterfly With a Gentle Heart One of Zeus’s most endearing traits is how much he loves meeting people. He’ll walk right up, nuzzle into you, and politely ask for pets with those big, expressive eyes. He’s affectionate, loyal, and eager to bond with his humans. With other dogs, Zeus loves some female dogs and will often roll onto his back to show submission — a sweet, goofy gesture that fits his personality perfectly. However, with male dogs Zeus likes to be the alpha.  We recommend he not be in a home with other male dogs and carefully introduced to female dogs to see if they will get along. A Dog With Quirks That Make Him Even More Lovable Zeus has a few adorable quirks that make him unforgettable: He loves cat toys — not to destroy, but to care for. He treats them like his babies and carries them around gently. He’s a tug-of-war champion — when it comes to playtime, that’s his game of choice. He knows tons of commands — sit, lay, speak, paw, recall, up, down, drop it, and stay. He also knows how to negotiate — Zeus is smart enough to understand commands, but he’s also a Malamute/Husky… which means he sometimes prefers to perform them only when a treat sweetens the deal. His intelligence, combined with his playful stubbornness, makes him both entertaining and rewarding to train. What Zeus Is Looking For Zeus will thrive with a family who: Enjoys an active lifestyle Wants a dog who’s affectionate, social, and deeply loyal Can continue his training and keep his mind engaged Appreciates a dog with personality, humor, and heart Has the time and space to give him the life he’s used to He’s not just looking for a home — he’s looking for a partnership, a family, and a place where he can be his joyful, loving self. Zeus Is Ready to Start His Next Chapter If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who will run with you in the morning, cuddle with you in the evening, and make you laugh every single day, Zeus might be the perfect match. He’s a big-hearted Mal/Husky with endless love to give, and he’s ready to share it with someone who will treasure him just as much as his former owner did. Zeus isn’t just a dog — he’s a companion, a character, and a loyal friend waiting for his next adventure.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 5, 2026, 5:01 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. YUKON has been making huge strides in his socialization journey. This boy has transformed from a shy, laid‑back loner into a playful, outgoing goofball—with just enough dignity in his posture to make him look almost regal. YUKON has officially shed his “Mr. Shy Guy” persona. Not only has he found his confidence… he’s also found his voice. And trust us—it’s a big one! His joyful barks echo his newfound boldness, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come. Watching YUKON blossom has been an absolute joy, and we’re so excited to see him continue stepping into the wonderful dog he was always meant to be. We recommend that Yukon be adopted with his buddy Kit. Yukon and Kit are two very different personalities who fit together perfectly. Their bond has grown stronger with every passing day, and it’s clear they bring out the best in each other.  Yukon and Kit balance each other beautifully. Yukon’s calm, steady presence helps ground Kit’s whirlwind energy. Kit’s playful spirit encourages Yukon to come out of his shell and enjoy life. They play together, learn together, and find comfort in each other’s company. Separating them would mean undoing the emotional progress they’ve made side by side. Together, they’re confident, joyful, and thriving. The adoption fee would be $750 for both of them.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Iris — A Stunning, Spirited Alaskan Malamute Ready for a New Furever Home Iris is a beautiful 4‑year‑old Alaskan Malamute with a friendly nature and a whole lot of personality. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her people and thrives when she’s included, engaged, and given plenty of activity. One of Iris’s sweetest quirks is how much she loves her crate. When you tell her it’s bedtime, she trots right in without hesitation. She also enjoys her daily walks and is used to going about two miles a day. With her current large yard, she’s mastered the art of zoomies — and she’ll happily show off her speed and enthusiasm. While Iris isn’t big on traditional dog toys, she does enjoy sneaking off with the cat’s toys instead. She knows basic cues like Sit , Stay , and Wait , and she’s eager to learn more with the right guidance. Iris is a classic Malamute: smart, stubborn, vocal, and full of drive. She can become overstimulated when she sees other dogs and tends to get loud and excited. She also likes to be the center of attention and may nudge other dogs away to claim her people. Because of this, she has had conflicts with female dogs in the past and would do best in a home without female dogs . She may do well with a calm, compatible male dog. She needs continued leash training and careful work around other animals to help her build confidence and better manners. With structure, patience, and consistency, she has great potential. Her Ideal Home Iris will thrive with adopters who: Have no young children (due to her size and strength) Can spend quality time with her each day Enjoy outdoor activities and can help her burn off energy Are committed to ongoing training Prefer a home with no female dogs and possibly a well‑matched male dog Her current family loves her dearly, but changes in their work schedules mean they can no longer give Iris the time, attention, and active lifestyle she deserves. Why Iris Is Worth It Iris is affectionate, loyal, and full of charm. She’s a dog who wants to be part of the family, who lights up when she’s included, and who will reward the right adopter with devotion and personality in spades. With structure, exercise, and continued training, she’ll blossom into an incredible companion. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, spirited Malamute who’s ready for adventure and eager to bond, Iris may be the perfect match.

Story
Hi… I’m Duri 🤍 Before I met kind people, I spent a long time on my own… without care, without warmth. I just endured each day the best I could. But things have changed now. I’ve been given a chance to start over— and I’m waiting for a family to share that new beginning with. Maybe… that could be you. People say I look strong and handsome. My thick fur, my clear eyes… sometimes I remind them of a brown husky. But what I really want you to see isn’t just how I look— It’s who I am. I like people. I really do. I’ll come up to you first, gently, hoping to connect. I enjoy being close, sharing quiet moments, feeling like I belong. I also get along well with other dogs. Being around friends feels natural to me, and I’m comfortable sharing space and energy with them. Inside me, I carry something special— the calm loyalty of an Akita, and the intelligence and quick learning of a Jindo. That means when I bond with you… it won’t be shallow. It will be deep. Steady. Unbreakable. But I’m still learning. Living in a home is new to me. Things like potty training, daily routines, and how to behave indoors—these are things you’ll need to teach me, step by step. Because I’m a strong and active dog, I’ll also need guidance on walks and basic manners. I want to do well—I just need someone to show me how. In the beginning, I might seem a little unsure. A new place, a new life… it can feel overwhelming. But if you stay patient, consistent, and kind with me, I will find my balance. I’m not a difficult dog— but I am a dog who needs understanding. Someone who won’t just “have” me, but will truly live with me. Teach me. Connect with me. If you can do that… I promise you something rare. A bond built on trust. A loyalty that doesn’t fade. A companion who stands by you, no matter what. I’ve already come so far from where I started. Now I just need a place to finally belong. No more loneliness. Just warmth… and you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Story
🏠 Currently in a Vancouver foster homeCotton is a 1-year-old Samoyed–Spitz mix weighing around 10kg, with fluffy fur and the sweetest smiling face. True to the name “Cotton,” this beautiful pup has a soft, warm presence that instantly melts hearts. The way Cotton looks up at people with a wagging tail and bright eyes makes it impossible not to fall in love.Cotton was rescued from a city shelter just before euthanasia. Despite experiencing such a difficult start at such a young age, Cotton has never lost trust in people. This pup is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and full of bright energy. Cotton absolutely loves human companionship and is happiest simply being near people — following them around, asking for attention, and greeting everyone with excitement and love.Cotton also gets along very well with other dogs. With a friendly and easygoing personality, this pup adapts well to social environments and could do wonderfully in a home with another dog companion. However, Cotton is still very much a puppy. At only 1 year old and currently around 10kg, there is still plenty of growing left to do. Future adopters should keep in mind that Cotton may continue to grow both in size and strength as maturity approaches.Most importantly, Cotton has never experienced life in a real home before. Having grown up in a shelter environment, everyday routines such as house training, leash manners, learning to stay home alone, and understanding household rules are all still new experiences. Like any young puppy, Cotton may have accidents, bursts of energy, playful curiosity, and moments of clumsy learning along the way.These are not “problem behaviors,” but simply part of growing up and learning about the world. Cotton needs a family who understands that patience, guidance, and consistency are essential during this stage of life. With love and time, Cotton will grow into an incredibly loyal and loving companion who bonds deeply with the people trusted most.Cotton is the kind of dog who shines brighter the more love is given. This sweet pup brings warmth, joy, and happy energy wherever they go. Still young, playful, and full of life, Cotton is waiting for a family who will cherish not only the beautiful appearance, but also the tender heart behind those smiling eyes. Once, Cotton almost lost the chance at life. Now, this special pup is hoping to find a forever family who will never let go again 🤍
